Some of those featured include Pamela Anderson Chaz Bono Andy Cohen Macaulay Culkin the Duchess of York Elvira Linda Evangelista Carrie Fisher Heidi Fleiss Larry Flynt Perez Hilton La Toya Jackson Kato Kaelin Lady Bunny Marilyn Manson Imelda Marcos Kelly Osbourne Camille Paglia Joey Ramone RuPaul Chloe Sevigny Ultra Naté Dita von Teese John Waters Carnie Wilson Holly Woodlawn and many many more.
